@brian-gregory try deleting the program group and simply reinstalling over existing setup.

It should be PowerArchiver group now.

If there was a previous group, it will use it hence the issue.

thanks!

I just tried that.
It just re-created the “PowerArchiver 2017” group but with only one icon in it called “PowerArchiver 2018”.

Yeah, I just checked it now to be sure - so it requires uninstall and then next install of Pa 2018 will properly have PowerArchiver group… I guess it takes info from the registry about already existing program group.

Yes that works. But I had to manually delete the old “PowerArchiver 2017” group. Uninstalliing did not remove it.

This board was semi down again saying “connection lost” earlier so I couldn’t reply earlier.

@Brian-Gregory so in one of the latest versions we now clean up old program group, rename it to PowerArchiver and also delete old shortcut to PA 2017. So now when you upgrade from 2017 to 2018 all is nice and proper on Windows 7 and earlier system. Thanks!

@drteeth:
I could not get the toolbar back by hovering over anything. Double-clicking got me out of special mode. I can now open an archive with the toolbar always showing.
Thanks

yeah, my bad… its single click for toolbar to show temp, and doubleclick to exit the mode - or actually enter it. I think in Win10, this is how Explorer works by default. In PA it is disabled by default and you can enable it as you have found out

Please excuse did not know where this should be put or such. This may be a new product for you if interested but , The two things I have always used together with PowerArchiver are this program and a separate cd database program. Or File, CD indexer is more appropriate name.
All my data disks are imaged / archived /then indexed, from the early Commodore days to the current or at least last 5 years.
In the past Normal for me was to Buy a new Program and I would image it immediately Index it, then I would install the program.
What I need to be doing is Downloading or Purchasing the Program and then installing. I was in hopes to even click on an executable or msi and have the PowerArchiver start and ask a couple of questions the normal stuff plus do I want to archive or index this file or CD into a database index, after installing it or would I like to View contents of it etc. If steps were made for me to Archive and also Install a program with the ability to come back and open an indexer in PowerArchiver and select the Archive function to do other things.
The main thing with me these days are the fact that HardDrives are so roomy now that there is no reason not to have the indexers run in use in your program I think. However finding something on these hard drives is another matter. Also if I wanted to know what was in a particular CD those over in the CD Books I would be able to find it quickly. Finding files is sometimes another story. So if we had a Archiver that truly archives it could easily index in more than one way we could then just ask it to burn archive index place that image that I installed last year and wallah… we have a PowerArchiver that will install, archive the image, place the image and recall the images files etc and have a Archived Data File that contains all the names of the files contained in it. Thanks for giving this opportunity so watch the Alpha and Beta teams. Your company has truly gone to the upper limits in this area.
